Judge Field brought his Associates on
the U. s. Circuit Bench, the Clerk oil
that Court, and also Gen. Bombast es
Furioso Barnes up with a round turn iu
San Francisco. To accommodate Mrs,
Langtry in her application for citizenship,
the Clerk, at the instance OF Barnes, re-
moved the record book of the Court to her
residence and there the necessary forms
were accomplished. 1t was not only a
piece OF miserable toadyism, but a most
mischievous proceeding, and Justice FIELD
is deserving Of all praise for putting his
foot on it, and asserting the dignity that
should, but does not, belong to the U. s.
Circuit Court OF San Francisco. He pro.
nounced the citizenship proceeding null
and void, and ordered that If Mrs. Lang
try wants to become an American citizen
she must appear before the Court or its
Clerk in the same n as any other
applicant. This is the true kind OF Ameri
canism. direct from the mouth Of a Su-
preme Judge Of the ablest ~jurists in the
land.
Hoffman and Sawyer knew OF this ir-
regularity and winked at it, and Justice
Fields remarks were as much OF a rebuke
to them as they were to the Clerk, and as
much q snub to them as to Gen. Barnes
il the latter could only know 1t when he is
snubbed.

THE s.YANKEEs."

Some of the Mexican newspapers are
grumbling at what they call "Yankee
aggression" They want to have the
country and its business all to them
selves, and seem to be a little bit jealous
of the wideawake American who goes
down there and stirs things up generally.
There is no cause for fear, however.
The native Mexicans are a very hos.
pitable and genial race. They are a lit
tie sluggish in their methods, and are
satisfied with the old fashioned way of
doing things. The Yankees go down
there like so many untamed cyclones.
When they buy q tract of land they are
not content to scratch the soil with the
burnt end Of a stick, as the Egyptians
did two thousand years ago, but start in
with a subsoil plough and a team that
goes along at a four mile gait. In his
business habits the "Yankee has the
mettle Of a war horse. He gets up
early and stays up late, and is on the
keen jump for an extra dollar bill all day.
OF course, this tremendous activity is
a surprise and an agony for a while, for
the Mexican must have eyes all over his
head or the "Yankee" will get his bust
ness away from him. He must needs
give up his siesta and his leisure, for the
yankee" disdains leisure and never
sleeps when it pays to keep awake. No
matter where the mercury is-it may
climb a telegraph pole for aught he cares
he is always on his feet and on the
alert.
But we can assure our neighbors west
of the Rio Grande that that sort of en-.
terprise will do them no harm. They
should invite immigration. for it will put
new blood into their veins and help
them to shake off their drowsiness. Be.
sides, the Yankee" is already down
there, he sees the opportunity of the
country, he has an idea that there are
"millions in it," and under these cir.
cumstances he sticks like cobbler's wax.
When he scents a " chance you may hit
him with a pile driver, but he won't
bulge.
On the whole. and after you get used
to him, the live yankee is the best
mar in the world to have on the ground.
He knows how to make things hum, and
he likes to do it.

Three Years of SKINNED MIX.

Philadelphia News: Louis Herbst, who
keeps a saloon and hotel on Market street.
Camden, and who is one Of the best
known Germans in South jersey, celebrated
yesterday his third anniversary of a skim
med milk diet. Mr.. Herbst is q large,
inely-formed man OF about so years OF
age, and weighs about 200 pounds. Three
years ago he WAS afflicted with dyspepsia
and kidney troubles, sud was advised by
his physician to Try a diet of skinned
milk exclusively. He tried the remedy for
a couple of months, and was 80 benefited
by the diet that he determined to try il
for a year. At the expiration of the latter
period Mr.. Herbst's health was almost
perfect. Far from becoming thin OIL
emaciated from the ~long-continued use o.
SKINNED milk. his form was, if possible
even more rotund than before, and by the
advice of his doctor he decided to adop'
SKINNED milk as his exclusive diet perma
nently. For three years he has eaten Of
drank absolutely nothing but the article
named-not even water-and declared Il
his friends who visited him yesterday tina
he proposed to continue skinned mill
and dispense with steaks, bread and but
ter and beer for the rest of his life.

The Sacramento Star says the craze
among the Boston girls for their photo
graghs in the nude probably arises from
the esthetioism that beauty unadorned is
adorned the most. We don't know how
the nude Boston girl in Boston might
look in q photograph. but as the Boston
girl appears as a California tourist, all
that would be necessary for q model from
which to take her nude photograph would
be two broom-sticks and 9 pair of green
Eyeglasses.

EXAMINING THE BOOKS.

The Washington Star says: On every
account the proposal to examine the
books of the disbursing officers in all the
departments of the Government, and
compare balances with cash, is to be
commended. No private business can
be run successfully except by frequent
comparisons of this sort. An honest
bookkeeper would not wish it other wise,
and a dishonest one ought not to be al
lowed the advantage of lax oversight.
In the Government employ the tempta.
ton to e~asy.going methods is very strong
indeed. Public business is everybody's
business, as the proverb goes. A man
who is naturally inclined to be accom-.
modating, and to do favors for associates,
is under special pressure in a Govern.
ment office, and the fact that he is doing
work for a vast quasi corporation instead
of for a private individual is liable to
weaken his sense of responsibility. There
does not appear to be any reason for
suspecting that a large number of Gov
eminent disbursers have been recreant
to their trusts, even constructively; but,
in view of the developments of the last
few months, those who have respected
the proprieties most scrupulously will
doubtless be the first to welcome an in.
vestigation which will remove from them
every shadow Of general doubt and
suspicion.

TuLARE, July 24.-The residence OF
r. H. Mcdonald four miles north OF
Tulare on the Tulare and Visalia road,
was burned this morning. His daugh-
ter. Mrs. Thomas Finley, lost her in
FAINT in the flames. and both she and

fire in the kitchen stove. He then
went to the barn, leaving the family

Uncle SANS Cash box.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-In the ex-
animation of the books and accounts
of Mr.. Jordan, late Treasurer of the
| United States, which has been con-
cluded, the only discrepancy was a
| shortage of 50 so in a box of gold coins
! of that denomination, which had been
counted by weight many years ago and
passed along from Treasurer to Treas
| urer as correct, and the mistake was
only discovered by actual count. A
| tracer showed the name OF the clerk
| who had made the mistake, and as he
is still in the service the matter was
called to his attention and he imme-
| diately made the shortage good so
that Uncle Sans" cash account now

The contemnf case oil Judge snenoe

The contemps case OF Judge Spencer
against the Huron Huronite has con-
tinued itself into this week and was to
come up again to-day for argument be-
fore the party who is practically plaintiff
in the action. This is an affair which
can do no good to anybody and should
never have been begun. Judge Spencer
seems to have yielded to the pressure
brought to bear by a coterie OF dis
gruntIed Huron attorneys possessed Of
personal grievances against the Huronite.
He has little heart in the case and prob
ably wishes himeef well out of it, There
is nothing for him in conviction and
certainly nothing in an acauittal. What.
ever may be the result it will intensity
the aggressive spirit of the press, for in
spite of surface indications there is ever
an under current of sympathy between
it's repres sntatives whenever their free
dom of expression is assailed, So in any
event the result will be ON ssnncomforta.
BILE one to the gentleman from New York
We are told that Judge Spencer is con.
Quoting this case fairly, which should be
passed to his credit.

Safety from Malaria.

The most vigorous constitution. and the

disease, the germs of which impregnate the air
VIC breath and the water we drink. The true
preparative the surest defense. is to fortify the
system with medicine which possesses specific
virtues as n safeguard and remedy. Hostetter's
Stomach Bittera Is precisely this article
proved by conclusive tests to be So. Not only
on this continent, whersver minsma gives birth
to the malarial infection, bnt in the tropics
where fever and ague assumes its most malig-
nant types. this incompatible. popular and
deserving medicine has, for over third of a
century, shownits efficacy. Chills and fever,
influence and are prevented by it. The word
.fall" has no place in the lexicon of poss. bill
ties when this peerless article is used, 1t tones
the stomach, arouees the liver when sluggish
and promotes healthful activity of the kidneyt

General Fl. J. CampbelPs fourth of
July Grafton at Armour has been given
the readers Of the Press and Dakotaian
in full and has been read with an eager
ness which betokens deep interest In the
living issues presented upon that oc-
casion. General Campbell is known the
country over as the stalwart champion
of Dakota's rights and the fact that over
FIVE thousand people assembled to hear
him OF one of the newest settlements of
south Dakota, and one farthest removed
from main lines of travel, indicates that
the sympathies OF the people are 10 ac.

son largely to the subject just now up-
permost in Dakota-the division Of our
territory and, its admis sion as two states
1t was complete presentation of the
case and full arraignment Of the enc
lnies of Dakota's Claims. Fearless in the
enuclatlon OF the right, knowing the
right and recognizing the wrong, and nm
intimidated by muttera1 threats
from the headquarters OF the nationa
governments, General Campbell thunder

Dakota has another General Gam

Dakota has another General Camp
bell-one known to its earliest pioneer
days and through eli succeeding time as
q sturdy and fearless champion of its
rights General q, 7. Campbell, of
Scotland. This Gen. Campbell came to us
out of the war OF the rebe llion-there q
brave and trusted federal leader maim-
ed and filed with lead and crippled
pasr oil further active service in behalf
of the country he had served in Mexico
and on the plains of the south, but with
zeal and loyalty nnabated. He came to
us democrat and has since remained o
democrat. Yet his political faith does
not prevent him from recognizing Dako-
ta's rights and wrongs and he is not the
man to Keep silence when words are in
time and tune. AT Scotland on the
fourth of July the boys in their enthu-
s!asm lifted the SCARED veteran on their
shoulders and from their shoulders to an
improyised platform. From this position
he addressed them and with flashing eye
and impassioned words made an eloquent
plea in behalf of division and statehood
for Dakota. Those who listened were
thrilled by his earnest words and con-
vinced by his telling logic. The old war
horse with democratic record which
runs back to his sires lifted himself
above the partisan depths OF political
associates and spoke the speech OF man
and Dakotaian. There is good blood
in the Campbell veins.
